Skill up or fall behind: How AI is forcing another skilling revolution
By Glen Vickers, Head of IT & CISO, ABS Wavesight
Since AI started to really rise up in all IT industries there’s been significant discussion, and even some effort, to replace jobs and even entire industries. We’ve seen this job scare before and watched it flop just as famously. However, AI does offer faster response times, quicker automation, and can even do the job of junior or mid-level engineers if properly trained.
The question being asked by college graduates and senior architects alike is the same question that was asked the last time technology took a really big leap forward, what do we do? The question has a simple answer. However, that simple answer is often one full of fear, uncertainty, and frustration. You need to skill up. You need to learn how to leverage AI and work smarter. You need to adopt new ways of working and improve your situation. You need to adapt.
If you accept the fact that you need to adapt, where do you start? The first place to start is to understand what types of AI are out there in the wild. If you’re just learning what AI is, take a course or just experiment. As your maturity model increases with your knowledge of AI, leverage AI in your daily routine. Learn how you can apply it in your work. As leaders, determine which use cases have yet to be solved and determine if those use cases can be solved with AI.
